Atletico Madrid
- Atletico Madrid are undefeated at home in LaLiga 2026/2027 (W3, D1) and have conceded 3 goals at home.
- Atletico Madrid are 2nd in the league with 22 points from 9 games, Deportivo A Coruna are 8th with 11 points after 9.
- Atletico Madrid will be in a confident mood ahead of Saturday's LaLiga 2026/2027 game against Deportivo A Coruna after enjoying a 5-match winning streak in all competitions which has seen them beat Deportivo Alaves and RCD Espanyol on the road and get a huge 2-0 Champions League victory over Manchester United.
- Oscar Fernandez has kept his Atleti team compact and ruthless, setting them up in a 4-4-2 system that gives them a good balance in structure but also allows them to release the pacey Alejandro Baena, who has 4 goals in 7 matches, and Jonathan David into transition.
Deportivo A Coruna
- Antonio Hidalgo has set Deportivo up in a 4-2-3-1, pushing them onto the front foot and trying to win the ball high up in order to release the likes of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has 5 goals in 7 games this term, on the break.
- Deportivo A Coruna are 8th with 11 points after 9 and their results have been uneven away from home.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head saw Atleti win 1-0 away from home in the Copa del Rey 2025/2026 and the visitors will probably try to keep the game close in the hope they can get a goal on the counterattack.
Key Players
- Alejandro Baena has scored 4 goals in 7 LaLiga 2026/2027 matches, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has 5 in the same matches for Deportivo.
- Jonathan David is one of the forward options Atleti can release in transition under Oscar Fernandez's 4-4-2 setup.
Betting Insights
- Atleti are the clear favorites at 1.23 for this one and the draw at 6.0 looks a big price given the hosts have been on a 5-match hot streak and Deportivo A Coruna are struggling to get results.
- Under 2.5 goals looks a live bet at 2.55 given Atleti's control of home field against Deportivo A Coruna's transitional game.
Prediction
- Atleti look likely to have the edge at home given their unbeaten record and current winning run, while Deportivo will rely on quick transitions and counter opportunities.
- Expect a match where Atletico Madrid are favourites to win but Deportivo can make it tactical and close, so a tight game with limited goals is the most probable outcome.
